Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for Capricorn BESS - KCI in the searched owner/developer and official project sources. The project materials confirm a proposed 300 MW / 1,200 MWh BESS at Bouldercombe, but do not state total investment cost. AEMO/CSIRO battery cost benchmarks were therefore not used for capex because no verified benchmark value was extracted here. Internal technology defaults are retained only for O&M fallback values; fixed OPEX annual was not calculated because capacity-specific input was not supplied in the prompt and no verified plant-specific O&M source was found.
